AF CHANNEL: How would you keep a good relationship with players as a coach?

Hello, everyone! This is AF Channel. Here we offer you something to discuss, debate or games to play!

Being an effective coach requires more than the ability to teach the player football skill, it also requires to build a strong relationship with them, each individual is unique and has a different style of playing. different players respond to different motivations.

If you were a coach, how would you keep a good relationship with players?

We will invite some AFers who have made some awesome comments to speak their voices out in this column. The distinguished guests today are: @NASSEB12, @tropicalda, @AkintemiJosiah, @KINGLMD10S, @whykallar, @amoasahderick

Here are some selected comments from AFers for the last topic: How to stop racism in football completely?

@NASSEB12:

Start by educating the footballers themselves about racism and how not to attach each other on the field. When players on the field start to act differently towards the ref and each other then the supporters will react the same. A game like Barca and Real is a perfect example. Also talk about how one should celebrate a goal or a win, don't do it to insult the supporters.

@tropicalda: 

It’s truly disgusting that racism still happens in football today, how is it possible that we turn a sport of love and joy into hate. disgusting 

To stop racism in football FIFA should do points deduction would be a far more powerful disincentive for abusive supporters also to give them fine and to deny them home advantage for two fixtures is seen as much more likely to hurt supporters and club revenue.

Peace and love to every football fan in the world and let's kick out racism and abuse in football. Let's respect and not judge players or fans in the game.

@AkintemiJosiah: 

Football is the beautiful game but sadly, yet truly, each time a player or team is attacked racially, the game looks less and less beautiful.

Please, kick out racism. The colour of the skin does not make us better or worse but it makes us diverse, beautiful and special. Without diversity, life would make no sense. We must strive to be colour blind, not with our eyes but with our hearts. Say no to racism.
